As good a proof we're going to get. What are the chances this person gets invited for tea?

To be pedantic, you can just load pictures onto a camera.

I do hope this is acceptable by PLA OPSEC standards though.

I'll be honest, I'm not even fully sure if that picture is real, it just seems too picturesque (though there aren't any artefacts that make me suspicious)

But if the credible users on the PRC side are advocating it, then fair.


This view gives us a the best shot of the nozzles as well in terms of determining their more 3 dimensional shape.

Well, here's the guy who took that photo. He said that his house was just nearby Chengdu AC, and he managed to take this photo when he was at the roof taking sunset photos.

Personally I believe the photo is real, but it's so picturesque that it seems unreal.

Of course, if he released a number of photos taken sequentially (presumably a number of photos were taken with repeated snaps during the approach to landing), each looking slightly different and unique from each other frame by frame, that would be somewhat more difficult to dispute.


Nice job of him regardless.
